Hey guys,
I have a spare laptop with a decent amount of grunt, it's an i7 2.9ghz with 8gb of ram and 256gb ssd.
It's just sitting around so I figured I'd use it as a plex server. I don't want to spend too much money. Is there a recommended NAS storage for someone who doesn't need it to do transcoding? Or is it ok just to have an external hdd connected to the laptop? Thanks
